BFTD Posted June 10, 2022 Share Posted June 10, 2022 As we don't have anyone who'll score regularly at international level, we should probably just buy Bale from Wales. That's what Celtgers would do, after all. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The defensive changes worked perfectly, and only some profligate shooting by McGinn and the expected pedestrian pace of the last 30 minutes stopped it being 4/5. There's no reason that playing Stewart for the second half would have resulted in anything different. With respect to SC, he's capped three teenagers since he came in. I don't have the data to hand, but I'm pretty sure no one has done that this Century. He's given a chance to plenty of players, and either dropped those who aren't good enough or not looked at them a second time (Shankland, McBurnie, Burke, Griffiths, Findlay, Palmer, Devlin, Brophy...) Brown and Stewart need more game time and given a serious chance, but of all the criticisms of SC, giving opportunity isn't really one of them (also, with the caveat that there isn't a whole lot of opportunities now with the Nations League and Euro/World Cup Qualifiers). I've got no problem with SC being the manager of Scotland hes been brilliant in putting this team together and evolving it. The progressive nature of the squad is something that previous managers have failed to do. The strength and depth has also developed from game to game with a good balance of experience players(seasoned pros) and players at the start of their careers. A lot of questions have been answered from where we were to now,we're in a position to qualify for major tournament we have the manager and we have the players. Clarke has done the job we all wanted,the disappointments are getting fewer and less,glorious failures sit at 1-1. My constructive criticism is the In game management leading to the game management,Clarke admitted he got it wrong against Ukraine plus the Armenian game was finished at half time. I don't want to dwell on the Ukrainian game but after the first half hour we could all see the game was getting away from us and he didn't react,in this game it was finished and he didn't react, for me he needs to adapt and change in game time when it's going against us and when it's going for us,small margins make the difference M8. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Absolute rubbish, Steve Clarke has been a professional football manager and coach since he retired in 1998 and you're giving him constructive critiscism on his game management - don't make me laugh. Steve Clarke said the players performance levels were the issue. The players accepted that verdict publicly and delivered their response against Armenia.

The share of responsibility is with the management and the players M8, the collective effort doesn't just fall on the players,he also said the management team would look to improve going forward. My concern is it reminded me of the Croatia and Czech games in the Euros,it's easy to say Ukraine were the better team on the day but make sure it doesn't happen again. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

velo army Posted June 10, 2022 Share Posted June 10, 2022 A lovely meeting of minds here. Anyway, like @welldaft I also spouted some drunken pish in the aftermath. Watching the highlights we had several chances in the second half. I just didn't see them very well I suppose due to where my seat was. THe offside was daft. If you have to look that long at it and it's a matter of inches then just leave the ref alone. I thought Adams did fine too. He should have had a couple, but as other posters have suggested he only needs one or two and I think he'll go on a wee run of scoring. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
